Fazzio Law squared-circle emblem FAZZIO LAWBoise, Idaho

When a family member dies, someone has to administer what is left. Fazzio Law guides personal representatives, trustees, and beneficiaries through Idaho probate and trust administration: opening the estate, marshaling assets, handling notices and creditor claims, preparing accountings, and making distributions in the order the law requires.

Most Idaho estates move through informal probate, which is a procedural sequence rather than a contested one. Where disagreement arises among beneficiaries, the firm works toward resolution by agreement, so the estate is not consumed by the dispute.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions


How long does probate take in Idaho?+

A straightforward informal probate commonly runs six months to a year, driven by the statutory creditor period and the estate's complexity. Hard deadlines matter at the start; the consultation covers them.

Do all estates have to go through probate?+

No. Small estates can sometimes use Idaho's small-estate procedures, and assets held in trust or passing by beneficiary designation avoid probate entirely. Whether probate is needed is often the first question to answer.
